IDHQ: INVESCO S&P INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPED QUALITY ETF
Understanding the INVESCO S&P INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPED QUALITY ETF (IDHQ)
The INVESCO S&P INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPED QUALITY ETF (ticker: IDHQ) is designed to invest in high-quality companies located in developed international markets. This ETF focuses on providing a mix of share-price growth and cash distributions to investors.
What the numbers show
The data shows that IDHQ has experienced significant growth in its share price over various timeframes.
• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is approximately 23.98%. When including distributions, the YTD total return is approximately 25.95%.
• One-Year: The one-year price return is approximately 25.48%, while the one-year total return is approximately 28.23%.
• Three-Year: The three-year price return is approximately 69.07%, and the three-year total return is approximately 80.99%.
It is important to remember that price return only measures the change in the share price. Total return is a more complete measure because it includes the value of the distributions paid out over that time.
An estimated price from roughly one year ago was $34.73. The current price is $43.58.
Income and distribution explanation
IDHQ provides cash to investors through distributions. The current distribution yield is approximately 1.95%. This means the annual cash payments are about 1.95% of the current share price.
The ETF usually pays these distributions on a quarterly basis, having made 4 payments over the last 12 months. The most recent distributions have typically been issued on Mondays.
NAV erosion explanation
"NAV erosion" refers to a decline in the Net Asset Value (the actual value of the underlying assets) of the fund. The supplied data is sufficient to evaluate price erosion, but it does not include enough historical NAV-per-share data to confirm or rule out NAV erosion.
However, regarding price-based evidence, the fund has an erosion score of 100, which is labeled as "No price erosion detected." The erosion severity is rated as "good," and there is no severe erosion-risk flag present.
